Review of Badland

Badland (I) (2019)
2/10
Generic and boring
30 March 2020
I hate modern made westerns like this because they give all modern westerns a bad name. While quality genre fims like No Country for Old Men, Wind River, Hell or High Water, Hostiles, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Etc. are good movies in their own right, they represent an evolution/deconstruction of the genre that (in theory) should propell the western into new themes and new lessons for our new time.

But movies like this is just generic crap chasing Clint Eastwood's coattails that became stale and boring over 40 years ago.

Oh and the plot is boring as hell too, a bounty hunter plot involving hunting war criminals... never seen that before... and the dialoge is terrible! There's SO much exposition, and the music is the most hand holdy/overbearing I've heard in a long time. I hate it and I'm never gonna think about it again.

Props to the costume artist though, good job.
